Cognex In-Sight Micro ID Readers

Cognex In-Sight ID Readers

Cognex ® In-Sight ® fixed-mount ID readers provide unmatched code reading performance. These readers integrate lighting, camera, ID software, processor and communications into an industrial-grade design... making them the most versatile and rugged fixed-mount readers available today.

In-Sight ID readers incorporate Cognex IDMax Data Matrix code reading software, based on the industry-leading PatMax® technology from Cognex, to provide the most robust and reliable decoding under all conditions. IDMax handles a wide range of degradations to the appearance of the code, no matter what the cause, allowing In-Sight readers to deliver the industry's most reliable reading. 

The high-speed digital acquisition system, DSP architecture, and optimized reading algorithms, assure continuously high read rates in direct part mark and label-based identification applications on the fastest production lines.

In-Sight 1110 provides high-performance 1D and 2D decoding for high-speed industrial identification and demanding direct part mark identification applications.

The In-Sight 1403 giving PatMax capability.

In-Sight 1410 provides all model 1110 capabilities, with additional processing power for high-speed reading and mark quality assessment, and for reading difficult-to-read marks.

In-Sight 1413 adds the highest resolution (1600 x 1200) imaging.

In-Sight ID Readers Features

Industrial identification is very challenging due to variations in mark appearance, uncertainty of part position, and high production line speeds.

The combination of sensor, processor architecture, and optimized ID software, allows In-Sight fixed-mount readers to meet high-speed production requirements, while maintaining accurate reading. The ability to read direct part marks, codes on rotated parts, multiple codes in the field of view, and provide working distance flexibility makes these ID readers ideal for virtually any identification application. And, quality metrics are provided, which indicate how well the code marking process is working.

In-Sight Explorer provides a powerful and completely integrated code reader configuration, management, and operator interface ... all within the single software package.
